Discovering, Creating, Problem-Solving, or All Three?

Hi, my name is Ricky Ranger, created by Christian. Help me! My creation, my robot in my picture, is malfunctioning. I am trying to get into the robot so then I can find the problem. Right now, it is trying to hurt me. What I want you to do is to distract it, so then I can get in. So come on, help me! I think creating is fun, but sometimes it can get out of control.

PROBLEM:
How Do We Build a Catapult?
ASK:
What is Our Challenge?
The Angry Bird Competition is on … Angry Bird and Piggy Friends unite! To retrieve your stolen eggs, Angry Birds, your team will need to build a catapult with only the materials provided to you, as outlined in the following steps of this “Small Group Challenge: Marshmallow Catapults”: Challenge: Each group will design and build a marshmallow catapult using the following materials: 1 meter of masking tape; 2 plastic cups; 4 rubber bands; 2 plastic spoons; 2 paper clips; 15 cm x 15 cm piece of cardboard; large (standard size) and small (mini size) marshmallows to launch. Goal: Launch a marshmallow at least 5 meters (in the air) and not outside of a ½ meter width. What is a Catapult?

A catapult is a weapon to take out large areas or castles, towers, and huts. The catapult gets its energy from the string that holds its arm down, and when it is release the catapult launches. The materials I think I will need to build a catapult are marshmallows, string, PVC, wood, and tape.
IMAGINE:
What are Some Solutions?
What is the Best Possible Solution?
Why did Our Team Choose This Solution?
PLAN:
What is a Diagram / Orthographic Design of Our Prototype?
CREATE:
What does Our Finished Construct Look Like?
IMPROVE:
What works, what doesn't work, and what could work better from Our Testing?
What are We going to do to address the Challenges We Faced with Our Construct?

How do We Catapult Ourselves into Problem Based Learning?
